authClient.organization.setActive() returns all the members of the organization

Hi, when I call authClient.organization.setActive(), I'm getting a response with a fully-populated members property that lists every member of that organization, including their email addresses. Is that intended? Seems like if I am just trying to sign the user into a tenant, there's no reason necessarily to respond with a list of hundreds or thousands of users?

Expo Apple Signup on Local Development

I followed the documentation of the expo plugin and the apple plugin. But I am getting a very unhelpful error message from apple saying: Sign up not completed" without any additional error logging anywhere. Does anyone have experience with how to debug this? I get 0 information on what could be going wrong. I am using monorepo with nextjs backend. I already confirmed email signup is working correctly. I get this data from the initial onSuccess when I call the social.signIn endpoint: https://appleid.apple.com/auth/authorize?response_type=code+id_token&client_id=services.ample.app.dev&state=[my-state-here-not]&scope=email+name&redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2F192.168.0.55%3A3000%2Fapi%2Fauth%2Fcallback%2Fapple&response_mode=form_post...

Help me setting up better auth with drizzle

I'm setting up better-auth with drizzle. I set up all the files needed to configure the db. I also ran generate command and it generated auth-schema.ts. So here are my questions: 1. Can I move what's inside auth-schema.ts to db/schema.ts to keep all schemas in one place (just like what's shown in Drizzle's documentation)? 2. After that, can I simply run npx drizzle-kit push to generate the tables in the database?...

Solution:

Yes

How can I trigger a rebuild of BA's generated types?

For some reason BA has lost its typings after I updated some of my packages (including BA) and now the stripe specific types are missing. IDE keeps telling me that stripe functions like the upgradeSubscription or listActiveSubscriptions do not exist, but the app works perfectly fine. Is there a way to trigger BA's type generation? Couldn't find anything about it in the cli docs.

How to access the full custom session in a middleware?

Hi! I’m trying to access my full custom session inside a middleware, but it seems like getCookieCache() doesn’t return my custom session data. Currently, I’m calling betterFetch('/api/auth/get-session') from the middleware as a workaround, but I’m wondering if there’s a better or more efficient way to directly access the complete session (including custom fields) within middleware? Any tips or best practices would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!...
